For once the English teams have got a good set of teams

I think Arsenal will drop out
They have a good set of teams but Arsenal will drop out? :| Makes sense? :unsure:

My Predictions:

Group A

Juventus
Bayern Munich
--------------------
Bordeaux
Maccabi Haifa

Bayern haven't had a great start to the season. Juventus have brought in a number of players such as Cannavaro and Diego, and I think they'll top the group. Despite being the French champions, I can't see Bordeaux sneaking through. The trips to Maccabi Haifa will be tough for the other teams so it will be interesting to see how they fare in Israel.

Group B

Manchester United
Wolfsburg
---------------------
CSKA Moscow
Besiktas

Can't really decide between Wolfsburg, CSKA and Besiktas. A trip to Russia and Turkey is always tough but I think United will have what it takes to win there. Not sure about how Wolfsburg will do. They won the German league but they lost their manager. Not sure how they'll do in Europe. They've never been here before.

Group C

Real Madrid
AC Milan
---------------
Marseille
FC Zurich

I doubt FC Zurich will pick up any points really. Marseille have improved their squad and AC Milan haven't been the same since Ancelotti left, so there's hope for Marseille there. I still think AC will advance though. Looking forward to seeing how well Real do with their new, great squad. I expect them to finish top with ease.

Group D

Chelsea
Atletico Madrid
--------------------
Porto
APOEL Nicosia

Chelsea should qualify from this but they'll face a tough challenge from Atletico and Porto. APOEL Nicosia shouldn't challenge much. Porto lost some key players in the transfer window so they'll be weakened. 3 quality teams here so I'm not thinking about the next stage just yet!

Group E

Liverpool
Lyon
---------------
Fiorentina
Debrecen

Lyon and Fiorentina are decent teams so Liverpool should be worried here. I think they'll top the group though and Lyon and Fiorentina will battle for second place. Debrecen could be an interesting trip away.

Group F

Barcelona
Inter Milan
------------------
Dynamo Kiev
Rubin Kazan

Ibrahimovic and Eto'o swapped over recently and now they'll be facing their old clubs! Can't wait. Can't see Dynamo or Rubin Kazan causing any problems here, although Dynamo Kiev are no pushovers and Rubin Kazan are the Russian champions, and no team should expect a straight forward victory in Russia.

Group G

Sevilla
Stuttgart
-----------------
Rangers
Unirea Urziceni

I'm not being biased here before anyone says so. Sevilla are a decent team but this is a great draw for Stuttgart and Rangers - they'll be battling for second place I think. Unirea Urziceni are an unknown quantity and should be interesting. They're managed by former Chelsea legend Dan Petrescu. Since Stuttgart got Babbel in as manager, they've improved and a late charge in the Bundesliga last season saw them sneak into the Champions League places. I'm not going to have my green and white glasses on, as Marius would say - Rangers are decent. When the two met in 2007-08, Stuttgart won 3-2 at home I think, but lost at Ibrox. This will be great to see.

Group H

Arsenal
Olympiakos
-----------------
AZ Alkmaar
Standard Liege

Arsenal to win this one with ease. They'll beat them well at home but away to Olympiakos will be a different story. AZ Alkmaar and Standard Liege - champions of the Netherlands and Belgium respectively - don't offer much to make me think they'll qualify. Good teams in their own countries, but Europe?


Chelsea fixtures:

Tuesday 15 September

Chelsea v Porto

Wednesday 30 September
APOEL v Chelsea

Wednesday 21 October
Chelsea v Atlético Madrid

Tuesday 3 November
Atlético Madrid v Chelsea

Wednesday 25 November
Porto v Chelsea

Tuesday 8 December
Chelsea v APOEL


Should be able to see Atletico and APOEL!

Group G is of course the easiest :ohdear

It seems that with this new system all the groups have 2, maximum 3, really good teams and it's pretty clear who will get to the Knockout stage. Admin's predictions are quite accurate :neuclap:

What do you think about United's group then? Who do you think will join them in the next round? Or maybe they won't qualify in your opinion... :lol:





Eduardo's being investigated by UEFA and Wenger's just said it's a "complete disgrace" :rofl:

It is a disgrace - they're already through, so what's the point? Good group as well :neuwine:


It'll take guts for Marseille to get out of that group, I think we've got the players to make it happen though. 2nd place would be good enough for me :eek: I look forward to playing Madrid :evil:

So you're saying Eduardo shouldn't be punished for the dive? :lol:

Any player should be punished for a dive, but which Drogba 'dives' are you refering to?

It's nice to see United- and Chelsea-fans going wild when they see an Arsenal player diving for a change. It's like we're as bad as them now so they're trying to bake us as much as possible :lol:

Wake up guys. Drogba dived three times more only in the Chelsea-Barcelona match.

Olympiakos doesn't have a decent striker or a decent LM. If they bring in 2 players for those positions that are good they can cope with Alkamaar and Liege, else their chances of finishing 3rd let alone 2nd are slim.
